The recent world financial crisis has arguably been the most important event of the new millennium. Understanding the financial crisis requires knowledge of: “What happened & how the crisis unfolded?” “Why did it happen?” “How was the crisis eventually managed?” “Further, who were hurt?” “Who succeeded well?” And finally, “what policy decisions intended to protect markets by government officials succeeded to forestall further damage. Taking a behavioral finance focus, the course offers an analysis of heuristic decision errors that lead to bubbles and crashes in markets, and the failure of market models to avoid them. * Prerequisites: Rudimentary knowledge of financial markets.

The recent world financial crisis has arguably been the most important event of the new millennium. The course will initially answer: “What happened?” “Why did it happen?” “How was the crisis temporarily fixed?” “Who was hurt?” “Who succeeded?” Thereafter, the focus shifts to an analysis of the quality of decisions made by the market protectors who chose to intervene with policies to protect markets, and a comparison of investors who made winning compared with losing investment decisions. The final segment considers whether behavioral economic/cognitive psychological research best explains those decisions, and ways to lessen the risk inherent in current volatile recovering financial markets. In sum, the course will review the recent financial crisis by evaluating strategic investment decisions of the market protectors, winners, and losers.

Prereq: Intro Psych and 080.203 or Permission & Signature required. Cross-listed with Neuroscience Sleep, dreaming, resting and arousal to waking represent very different states of consciousness which differ dramatically both psychologically and physiologically. This course focuses on cognitive, psychological, physiological, biological and genetic aspects characterizing each of these states with some reference to other altered states. The course includes a focus on the major pathologies affecting sleep-wake states. Clinical cases will be considered. These inform about both psychological and biological aspects of these states. The relative biological functions of each state will be evaluated with particular attention to the mystery of why we have and apparently need REM and NREM sleep. Actual physiological recordings of sleep states will be reviewed and the student will learn how these are obtained and how to evaluate these. The circadian rhythms, ontogeny and evolution of these sleep-wake states will also be covered. This will include a review of information learned from non-human animal sleep. The change from sleep to full awakening reflects change toward increasing brain organization supporting consciousness. Understanding of the neurobiology of these states will be used to explore some of the more modern and scientific concepts of human self-awareness or consciousness.
